In 1967, Otis Redding finished recording the song "Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay" in Memphis, TN. Tragically, 72 hours later he died in a plane crash at the age of 26.

When the phone rang at the Stax/Volt studios in Memphis in late November of 1967, guitarist Steve Cropper was surprised to hear Otis Redding on the other end, calling from the airport. "Usually Otis would check into the Holiday Inn or whatever hotel he was staying at and then he'd call for me to come over and do some writing," Cropper recalls.

But this time Redding was too excited to wait. "I've got a hit," he told Cropper, so he wanted to come straight to the studio to flesh his idea out into a full-fledged song.

Redding started writing the lyrics to the song in August 1967, while sitting on a rented houseboat in Sausalito, California. He completed the song in Memphis with the help of Cropper, who was a Stax producer and the guitarist for Booker T. & the M.G's.

Redding was right. When "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay" was released less than two months later, it became the singer's first million-seller and first 'Billboard' Number One single. But the legendary soul singer never got to hear the finished version of his breakthrough single: He had died in a plane crash on December 10th at the age of 26.

The headlines are incredible. The company that connected people during the pandemic, that helped enable effective remote work, is calling for employees to return to office.

#RTO was inevitable. It's more of a shock that it's @zoom making the headlines for it. But because it's Zoom, you can expect to see an acceleration of companies asking employees to return to work beyond current hybrid models.

The pros are reigniting live work collaborations, plugging into workplace energy, serendipity, improving commercial real estate value, boosting local economies, face-to-face networking and connectedness (sense of belonging vs. isolation), separation from work/family life, better equipment and workspace...

The cons are losing newfound freedoms, which can affect morale and performance, exposure to illness, being tied to a desk, flexibility, commuting (time loss), decreased work/life balance, potential staff turnover, increased hardships in hiring top talent.

I'm not sure where productivity will fall, as it's been shown that remote work is also incredibly productive.

What are your thoughts?

@Zoom The back-to-office backfire?

Companies ending WFH perks lose out on top talent, who view flexible work as equivalent to an 8% raise

I'm hiring a Head of Ecommerce Marketing. We are growing 3x YoY and looking for someone to bring sophistication and professionalization to our marketing activities (which I currently own). This role will develop a long-term marketing strategy and build a team, but must be willing to 'play in the dirt' in the short term as we execute on our growth strategy.

In 2015, Farmer James Bristle and his neighbor were diligently digging a trench in Lima Township, Michigan, with the purpose of installing a drainage pipe on Bristle's farm. To their surprise, their backhoe struck something solid about eight feet underground. Upon further investigation, they discovered an enormous three-foot-long bone that was clearly much larger than that of a cow.

Recognizing the potential significance of their find, Farmer Bristle and his neighbor immediately contacted the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology, which happened to be just 10 miles away from the field. The museum's team of paleontologists arrived promptly, and Bristle generously allowed them only one day to complete their work, as he needed to resume his drainage project.

Working briskly and meticulously, the paleontologists carefully excavated the site. They revealed the remains of a prehistoric mammoth, a species that had roamed North America until their disappearance approximately 12,000 years ago. While Michigan had seen the discovery of remains from 30 other mammoths previously, this particular find was exceptional in its level of preservation.

The mammoth's remains, dating back between 12,000 and 15,000 years ago, were identified as those of an adult male who likely lived to be in his 40s before meeting its demise. However, what made this discovery even more intriguing was the evidence of human activity associated with the mammoth's remains.

The paleontologists found indications suggesting that ancient humans might have played a role in preserving the mammoth's meat for later use. The theory suggested that the carcass was submerged in a pond, aided by three basketball-sized boulders found near the remains, possibly used to weigh down the carcass.

The paleontologists utilized zip lines attached to a backhoe to carefully hoist the mammoth's gigantic skull and tusks. They then placed these impressive specimens onto a flatbed trailer, along with the skeleton's vertebrae, ribs, pelvis, and shoulder blades, before filling in the pit.

The discovery shed new light on the ancient history of North America and provided valuable insights into the interactions between prehistoric mammoths and early human populations. Farmer Bristle's accidental find became an invaluable contribution to the scientific understanding of this fascinating era.

A rare July flood on the #CTRiver. So much debris floating down including entire trees. This all washes out into LI Sound. Keep a sharp lookout boaters.

In 1973, FedEx had $5,000 in the bank and a $24,000 fuel bill.

Founder Fred Smith couldn’t get a loan fast enough.

He took $5,000 to Vegas and won $27,000 playing blackjack, buying time to raise more money.

Today, FedEx generates more revenue than casinos on the Vegas strip.

This is what the Winooski River looked like yesterday (Tues 7/11)….in Winooski VT near the highest crest. An amazing amount of water. Insane.

On January 5, 1911, geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor and meteorologist Charles Wright found themselves at the entrance of a breathtaking grotto nestled within the side of an iceberg. The monumental moment was captured in a photograph, with the magnificent Terra Nova ship serving as a stunning backdrop. This enchanting scene unfolded during the iconic British Antarctic Expedition, under the leadership of Captain Robert Falcon Scott. Spanning from 1910 to 1913, this expedition marked a significant milestone in the exploration of the Antarctic region, showcasing the courage and determination of these pioneering explorers.

A quick note: the jet stream is not broken, chaotic, weird, or wonky. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing.

Any heat dome or weather system is not caused by climate change.

You can theorize and attempt to quantify changes in probability of frequency and intensity.

Detection without attribution & correlation without causation = misleading climate change impacts. Stick to theory like thermodynamics.

The tropics forces the polar regions on Earth, not the other way around.
